“Yu Gong, what do you plan to do in the future?”
While enjoying this peace, Suzuki Sonoko turned the topic to the future.
“What do I plan to do in the future?”
“I haven’t really thought about the future.”
Yu Gong Lian had never considered his future.
Perhaps his personality was a bit more laid-back, but he always took things one step at a time when it came to the future.
He didn’t have a clear plan for the future.
“What about you, Suzuki-san?”
“What do you plan to do in the future?”
“If it were before, I would have found a boyfriend and then inherited the future of the Suzuki family.”
Even though she didn’t seem like the type to say such things, Suzuki Sonoko still uttered the words her mother and father most hoped for her to do.
“Inherit the family business? That’s great.”
Yu Gong Lian wasn’t surprised.
Suzuki Sonoko might seem a bit unreliable on the surface, but she also had her reliable side.
She knew her responsibilities very clearly.
This wasn’t something he saw from stories, but something he felt through their brief two-day interaction.
【This girl is not a superficial person.】
This was what he felt during these two days.
Now, hearing this girl talk about inheriting the family business in the future wasn’t strange at all.
It should be said that this was the Suzuki family’s upbringing.
“The Suzuki family’s business is huge, it would be very difficult for one person to support it.”
“Finding a suitable boyfriend could help you share a lot of the pressure.”
“I think Suzuki-san like this is very responsible.”
Suzuki Sonoko’s eyes curved.
“Thank you.”
“I thought you’d say I was joking.”
“How could I?”
Yu Gong Lian shook his head slightly and quickly denied this.
“My perception of Suzuki-san was still based on the story before.”
“Because Suzuki-san is very serious about looks, I always thought that you belonged to the category of ‘being a flower痴’ (flower-obsessed).”
“But after interacting with you, I can feel that Suzuki-san has always maintained a certain distance.”
“You simply like good-looking people, not a flower痴.”
“If Suzuki-san were a flower痴, then Suzuki-san would have gone for someone from the upper class.”
A flower痴, a playful person, should just go for someone in high society.
But Suzuki Sonoko was only someone who liked good-looking faces, she was very clear about her preferences.
Otherwise, a playful girl with a deep family background would have gone wild long ago.
Yu Gong Lian learned this in his previous life.
Don’t doubt how wild people in high society can play.
They really can play very wildly.
“Hee hee~ No one has ever said these things to me before, you’re the first.”
Suzuki Sonoko stared intently at Yu Gong.
“So, in the story, am I a guy who always likes to flirt?”
“Hmm… not really. In the story, you’re probably described as a girl who’s very serious about looks.”
“That means I must have been even more serious in the story than I am now.”
Suzuki Sonoko chuckled, not having anything to say about her story self.
“She should be different from me in how I persist.”
“She should be even more willful than I am.”
She could probably already judge what kind of personality her story self had.
It was generally not very different from herself, but her story self seemed to be more idealistic, while she was more rational.
Just like the events in the future story.
Hero saving the damsel in distress would happen to her, which meant that story was also very idealistic.
“Indeed, she is quite willful.”
Looking back on the Suzuki Sonoko in the story, her personality did have a willful side.
Yu Gong Lian looked at Suzuki Sonoko in front of him.
This more realistic girl in front of him was also willful, but her willfulness was always within the allowed range.
“Since you said ‘before,’ what about now?”
“Now? I want to step into the incredible world.”
Suzuki Sonoko didn’t avoid the question.
“The incredible world?”
“Well~ It’s not completely unexpected.”
It should be said that it’s not particularly surprising.
Yu Gong Lian himself was at the center of that incredible world.
As an ordinary person, he could best understand this kind of thinking.
What was that saying again?
【To hear the Dao in the morning and die in the evening, one can do so.】
“It’s not completely hopeless.”
“But I’m not sure when it will fall on your head.”
“After all, the diary doesn’t choose its holder based on my opinion.”
“Yeah, I know.”
Suzuki Sonoko agreed.
“So, I’m looking forward to the day when that luck falls on my head.”
Taking a deep breath.
She felt her emotions becoming more excited.
But she still controlled her emotions.
“Since you’ve said all yours, what do you want to do in the future, Yu Gong?”
“Hmm, things you want to do in the future aren’t necessary, or maybe a goal you want to achieve in the near future.”
“If it’s that, I actually have some ideas.”
Yu Gong Lian had considered it before, but he still didn’t have anything he wanted to do in the future.
But if it was a near-term goal, then he did have one.
“To achieve the Sequence 0 of the Three Paths, to reach the pinnacle of the Sequence Path, to seek a path to continue moving forward.”
“Then, to go to another world and see that interesting old fellow, to go say hello to him, to see his surprised expression with his mouth wide open.”
“But those are very distant goals.”
“For the near future, I’ll continue to walk the Sequence Path.”
“Then I’ll see the paths of many characters from the stories.”
“These are things I never thought about in the past, now that they can be achieved before my eyes, I want to better see more interesting things.”
「Playing a game of life? 」
Suzuki Sonoko immediately realized what Yu Gong wanted to do in the near future.
「It actually fits Yu Gong’s current situation. 」
「Continuously accumulating strength, becoming the foundation stone on the path.」
「To see more stories with your own eyes and then slowly climb to the peak.」
「Isn’t that interesting?」
And at this moment, she realized the true reason Yu Gong was so laid-back.
He didn’t have a clear life goal.
He didn’t like to plan his life.
Everything was taken one step at a time, instead, he would choose to plan ahead and then act.
A very free-spirited way.
「But Yu Gong, there’s no one in your life goals by your side. 」
「You’re used to it, aren’t you?」
Suzuki Sonoko keenly captured the key point.
She smiled.
“Yu Gong, guess what, does the diary react to people with strong desires?”
“If I were one of the characters in the story, would it react to my wishes?”
Would it?
Yu Gong Lian was silent for a while.
“It should, right?”
“Yu Gong, you should say “no” at this time.”
“Otherwise, how can I make a bet with you?”
